"Oh, righteous doom, that they who make / Pleasure their only end, / Ordering the whole life for its sake, / Miss that whereto they tend; " / "While they who bid stern Duty lead, / Content to follow-they, / Of duty only taking heed / Find pleasure by the way. "-Trench.
JEAN always looked back to that spring in after years, as a very happy bit of her life. She saw a good deal of Mrs. Fergusson, and then her son took her home, and Mrs. Gordon and Sunnie followed soon afterwards. Jean did not often meet the doctor. He had a good many engagements in town, and was generally away when she visited Sunnie. But the day before he went back to Scotland, she met him there, and when she left the house, he walked a part of the way home with her. She asked him then a question that had been continually in her thoughts.
